Tua Tagovailoa led the Miami Dolphins to a big win over the Bill Belichick-led New England Patriots on Sunday. With the Dolphins now 9-5, and 2nd in the NFC East, the team from Miami has a decent chance of making it to the postseason. Meanwhile, for Belichick’s Patriots, this is their first season since 2008 that they failed to make it into the Playoffs.

Tua Tagovailoa ends Belichick’s dominance over rookie quarterbacks

Tua’s win is quite a rare feat. Tua Tagovailoa became only the second ever rookie quarterback in history to get the better of Belichick and his Patriots.

The first rookie to do it was Geno Smith back in 2013. 7 years in between, no rookie QB has managed to get the better of coach Belichick. A sign, perhaps, that the Patriots dynasty is finally coming to an end.

Brady-less Patriots struggling

2020 was the year of transition for the New England Patriots. A year when they finally moved on from veteran quarterback Tom Brady. The Patriots decided to go with former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton as their starting QB.

Unfortunately, for the Patriots, the transition has not been smooth. Falling to a 6-8 record, the thought of not seeing Belichick’s Patriots in the playoffs is unimaginable.

The Patriots have enjoyed major success under coach Belichick and Tom Brady, but now the Brady-less Patriots’ dynasty is starting to fall apart.
